Destruction and reorganization of the receptor membrane in labellar chemosensory cells of the blowfly. Recovery of responses to sugar after destruction 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
Recovery from destruction by sodium deoxycholate (DOC) was studied with the receptor membrane of the blowfly, Phormia regina. The recovery can be divided into two processes, colchicine dependent and colchicine independent. The colchicine-dependent process was completely depressed by pretreatment with colchicine at 5 mM for 2 min (partially at 0.1 mM for 10 min), but the colchicine-independent one persisted. Vinblastine also caused depression but lumicolchicine did not. Records of responses obtained from the DOC-treated sugar receptor showed long response latencies that gradually became indistinct with recovery. Colchicine also affected this change in response latency after the DOC treatment. These results suggest that the colchicine-dependent recovery process is related to microtubules in the distal process of the receptor cell. The recovery time course and the change in response latency could be quantitatively explained by the simple assumptions that DOC underwent desorption from the receptor membrane (colchicine-independent recovery process) and that regeneration of the disrupted distal process of the receptor cell accompanied recovery in the number of available receptor sites (colchicine-dependent recovery process). 相似文献

Pseudomonas amygdali pv. tabaci (formerly Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci; Pta) is a gram-negative bacterium that causes bacterial wildfire disease in Nicotiana tabacum. The pathogen establishes infections by using a type III secretion system to inject type III effector proteins (T3Es) into cells, thereby interfering with the host__s immune system. To counteract the effectors, plants have evolved disease-resistance genes and mechanisms to induce strong resistance on effector recognition. By screening a series of Pta T3E-deficient mutants, we have identified HopAZ1 as the T3E that induces disease resistance in N. tabacum ‘N509’. Inoculation with the Pta ∆hopAZ1 mutant did not induce resistance to Pta in N509. We also found that the Pta ∆hopAZ1 mutant did not induce a hypersensitive response and promoted severe disease symptoms in N509. Furthermore, a C-terminal truncated HopAZ1 abolished HopAZ1-dependent cell death in N509. These results indicate that HopAZ1 is the avirulence factor that induces resistance to Pta by N509. 相似文献

Fishery sustainability and the extinction risk of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, are of global concern. The landings of the Japanese eel in Japan comprise a large part of the landings in East Asia. This study provides a compiled dataset of the annual fisheries statistics of the Japanese eel in Japan for stock assessment. The Japanese government has been recording Japanese eel statistics annually since 1984 in five series of annual reports by conducting systematic questionnaire surveys of fisheries managers and associations; however, most of these data are stored in analog format. The key variables in the dataset include the harvest weight of eels, the harvest weight and number of seeds for aquaculture, the number of eels stocked, and the number of management entities engaged in the eel fishery. The levels of spatial aggregation of the variables include the site (river and lake), prefecture, inland and coastal waters, and total in Japan. We also incorporated location data (latitude and longitude) of the site and prefecture into the dataset. Eel harvest includes primarily yellow eels (late juvenile stage) and silver eels (mature stage). Seed harvest in inland waters includes glass eels (intermediate stage between leptocephalus and elver) and elvers (early juvenile stage). Seed harvest from coastal waters comprises glass eels. This dataset provides information to assess long-term trends in the Japanese eel population. 相似文献

N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been implicated in learning and memory, and may also play a central role in various conditions leading to neuronal degradation. NMDA receptor antagonists could therefore be of therapeutic benefit for a number of neurological disorders. We have designed hybrid compounds of polyamines and memantine, both of which function as NMDA channel blockers. The triamine derivative with a guanidine moiety showed more potent antagonistic activity than memantine. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: To resolve the high-dimensionality of the genetic network inference problem in the S-system model, a problem decomposition strategy has been proposed. While this strategy certainly shows promise, it cannot provide a model readily applicable to the computational simulation of the genetic network when the given time-series data contain measurement noise. This is a significant limitation of the problem decomposition, given that our analysis and understanding of the genetic network depend on the computational simulation. RESULTS: We propose a new method for inferring S-system models of large-scale genetic networks. The proposed method is based on the problem decomposition strategy and a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm. As the subproblems divided by the problem decomposition strategy are solved simultaneously using the cooperative coevolutionary algorithm, the proposed method can be used to infer any S-system model ready for computational simulation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we apply it to two artificial genetic network inference problems. Finally, the proposed method is used to analyze the actual DNA microarray data. 相似文献

Signaling pathways such as the pre-TCR and Wnt pathways regulate alpha/beta T cell differentiation in thymus. Mice lacking an essential component of the pre-TCR exhibit arrest at the (CD4(-)CD8(-)) (CD44(-)CD25(+)) stage (DN3) of thymocyte development, and introduction of p53 deficiency into those mice abrogates this arrest, resulting in transition to the (CD4(+)CD8(+)) double-positive (DP) stage. This paper examines the effect of inactivation of p53 on thymocyte development in Bcl11b(-/-) mice that exhibit arrest at the DN3 or (CD4(-)CD8(+)) immature single-positive (ISP) stage. No DP thymocytes were detected in thymocytes of adoptive transfer experiments in scid mice that were derived from p53(-/-)Bcl11b(-/-) precursors but ISP thymocytes increased in the proportion and in the cell number approximately three times higher than those from Bcl11b(-/-) precursors. Consistently, the level of apoptosis decreased to the level of wild-type precursors. These results suggest that inactivation of p53 is sufficient for DN3 thymocytes to differentiate into the ISP, but not to DP, stage of thymocyte development in Bcl11b(-/-) mice. This provides evidence for a novel p53-mediated checkpoint that regulates the transition from the DN3 to ISP stage of thymocyte development. 相似文献

The Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus homologue of nanos (HpNanos), that encodes a protein containing two CCHC zinc finger motifs, was isolated from a gastrula cDNA library. The accumulation of HpNanos mRNA during embryonic development and the spatial expression pattern are reported. Developmental northern blot analysis revealed that HpNanos mRNA markedly accumulated during the blastula stages, and then decreased in abundance at the mesenchyme blastula stage. The second phase of HpNanos mRNA expression occurred during gastrulation, after which the expression returned to a low level. Whole-mount in situ hybridization showed that the HpNanos was exclusively expressed in four to six small micromere-descendant cells at the blastula stage. The expression of HpNanos was restricted to the coelomic pouch, which gives rise to the mesoderm of the ventral surface of the adult rudiment, at the prism stage. These results suggest that HpNanos expression will be instrumental for future analyses of the function of small micromere-descendant cells and of the origin of germ cells during sea urchin development. 相似文献

L-type Ca(2+) channels (LTCCs) play an essential role in the excitation-contraction coupling of ventricular myocytes. We previously found that t-tubular (TT) LTCC current density was halved by the activation of protein phosphatase (PP)1 and/or PP2A, whereas surface sarcolemmal (SS) LTCC current density was increased by the inhibition of PP1 and/or PP2A activity in failing ventricular myocytes of mice chronically treated with isoproterenol (ISO mice). In the present study, we examined the possible involvement of inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins (G(i/o)) in these abnormalities by chronically administrating pertussis toxin (PTX) to ISO mice (ISO + PTX mice). Compared with ISO mice, ISO + PTX mice exhibited significantly higher fractional shortening of the left ventricle. The expression level of Gα(i2) proteins was not altered by the treatment of mice with ISO and/or PTX. ISO + PTX myocytes had normal TT and SS LTCC current densities because they had higher and lower availability and/or open probability of TT and SS LTCCs than ISO myocytes, respectively. A selective PKA inhibitor, H-89, did not affect LTCC current densities in ISO + PTX myocytes. A selective PP2A inhibitor, fostriecin, did not affect SS or TT current density in control or ISO + PTX myocytes but significantly increased TT but not SS LTCC current density in ISO myocytes. These results indicate that chronic receptor-mediated activation of G(i/o) in vivo decreases basal TT LTCC activity by activating PP2A and increases basal SS LTCC activity by inhibiting PP1 without modulating PKA in heart failure. 相似文献
